I learned more about the history of Scotland on the tour than I knew when I lived there.

The local tour company that actually took us on this trip was amazing, especially our guides. You really can't have a bad time in Scotland, anyway.

What a wonderful trip! Our guide was the best!! We learned many things about the Kingdom of Fife. We especially loved the time we spent in St. Andrews. We were able to walk around in the shops, visit the Old Course, and see the cathedral.

Guide was kind and helpful. Beautiful drive through Fifeshire. St Andrews is beautiful. Lots to see and do. Goodly amount of time there. Would have preferred another village than Anstruther for AM coffee. Trip offered more than expected. Loved PM castle visit.

My wife and I had an amazing day. We really enjoyed this tour. It is much better to travel on a minivan than a normal bus; the tour is friendlier. The minivan was comfortable, and the guide was really funny and had a great knowledge of Scottish history. His narrations of the Scottish history were accurate, interesting, vivid, funny and never boring. We also listened to some Scottish folk music along the day, always relating to something we had seen or someone the guide had mentioned.
Many people tend not to visit the Kingdom of Fife, but we really recommend it. It is a lovely region.
We had a lovely stop for some chips at the lovely fishing village of Anstruther. The next stop, St. Andrews, was also very interesting. We thought we would have 3 hours to spend there as advertised on the website, so that we could have lunch and visit the castle and the medieval ruins. But we had only 2 hours, and that was not enough. To have time to have lunch, we had to run to visit the rest, and there is a lot to see! Don't miss the castle and the church ruins and tower.
Unfortunately, we also had little time to visit the Falkland Palace--half an hour. Maybe because no one in the minivan was interested in visiting the palace besides us and a French tourist. We just had time to visit the inside of the palace, and no time to visit the gardens where Mary Queen of Scots spent her summer time. We truly recommend this tour and the tour operator.
Very well organized, excellent guides.
